Topic: Birmingham better than Philly . (Read 25009 times)

r u ready? Mark your calendars, ladies - Filthy's Club Body Center which was tragically gutted in a mysterious fire last year is about to reopen -- new name, new owner! I walked by this afternoon and saw the new signs: http://clubphilly.com/Club_Philly/Countdown.html

If you enjoy being jacked up on meth, hanging from a sling, and being fisted for hours this is your kind of place! And as a bonus there's an HIV testing center around the corner and also our largest HIV clinic a block away. I just hope they did a full scale restoration of The Bear Room. Oh, and don't you just love how even our bath houses are in historic colonial era buildings?

Actually ACI is the place to go in SA, it has less bedbugs than Executive. However they are currently battling a Syph outbreak (spring has sprung!). But hey there's alot of huge hung uncut spanish only speaking cock there, If that's your thing

The only Bathhouse I've ever been to was Midtown Spa in Austin . and that was only because my buddy DJ'd there after hours on Sudnay morning and I would have to bring him coke, Although I think I got a hj in the sauna room from a UT student.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I had to look up what Krystal's is -- looks similar to White Castle, though since White Castle was the first fast food place this just ripped them off 80 years ago. They removed all of the White Castles from Filthy 15 years ago so I only get fresh ones when I go back to Brooklyn. I had a White Castle two blocks away from that apartment! Open 24/7 too! And it was full of 110% sketch.

They are exactly like White Castle ... mere blocks from here . The used to have decent chili to dunk your burger in but its not good like it used to be .

But if you scroll backwards and look at the #1 place -- The Trestle Inn, you will see that the dumpier the place looks the cooler the crowd is that goes there. This is just how we roll in Filthydelphia. We embrace the filth. However at least at the Trestle once you go inside it's not a dump and they have bison meatloaf sandwiches on the menu.

Please. NO ONE does hipster and filth like Austin Texas. Not only that but Austin's been doing it since before it was "cool"

Child please. Every place in the Northeast has done the filth-as-hipster thing since the first time I went to the 9:30 Club in DC as a 17 year old. You were pushing out babies until you were 37 and you're going to lecture me on night clubbing? Seriously?

Of your obviously sexless date? If it makes you happy to think so, sure. In fact, I'm not even sure you got more than tipsy last night if you're up so early tappin' away on your keyboard. I know I wouldn't be.

I was so upset last night that I assembled a collection of digital photos of Wumpella and turned it into screensaver slideshow for my computer. I thought it might be good for masturbation but I'm having trouble getting hard.

Guess I'll go back to watching Marshall from seancody.com

I'm sure Willy was thinking of you the whole time last night . He said it helps him with his premature ejaculation problem .

I bet you don't live near a Hipster Dive Bar that serves cheesesteak tacos and has nightly drag shows, now do you? $3 Pabst-and-Jim Beam combo ftw though I prefer an IPA and Jameson shot combo personally.

Also, super large cocks (what in the world is a "slurp ramp"?). And you gotta love how they're putting an in-house STD testing facility on the third floor. So progressive! I LUV PHILLY!

cheesesteak tacos with cheez whiz?what is up with Philly and their love of canned fake cheese anyway?I checked it out online to see if it was authentic or just served for the tourists.From the mouths of your fellow Phillodelfinos, it seems to get a mixed response.

Oh yes, it's either Whiz or real provolone. And if you want it with Whiz you place your order by only saying "whiz wit". I know you'll gag but they're actually better in terms of texture with Whiz. I think the whiz issue came about because the cheesesteak places came about in the 1950's at the same time that whiz first came on the market.

There's a local sandwich that's actually better than a cheesesteak and that's our roast pork, provolone and broccoli rabe. Cheesesteaks are geared to the tourists.

cheez whiz yuck. provolone yes. do the French make a superior cheez whiz?

I've eaten it but it's been a while since I did so. The place has huge lines now because of that show so it may be a while before I can sample it again. Reading Terminal Market is now more visited than Independence Hall when you combine it with the locals who also shop there. It's not just ready-to-eat stalls at RTM but also produce stands, fish mongers, butchers etc. But it can become so crowded during tourist season that you don't want to be there. I go more in the winter it seems.

There are tons of other equally good sandwich places. For roast pork ones there's also John's Roast Pork but since I don't have a car it involves taking the bus, but it's only maybe 15 or so blocks east so doable. It's a dumpy concrete shack with no indoor seating though, but it's also always on those cooking channel shows. Click on the video in that link and you'll recall that it was also on that same sandwich competition, but for their cheesesteak not for the roast pork.

It's been on both Bourdain's and Bobby Flay's TV shows. I often order the "Gustaio" there which has home-made lamb sausage as the meat, but they also have a good version of the roast pork they call the "Arista" -- click on the menu section. Supposedly the chicken liver sandwich is to die for but I don't care for chicken liver. This place has also become annoyingly crowded. Miss P discovered it years ago before it was on any TV show. I'd go in there and there would be maybe only one or two seats full.

I just roasted a pork shoulder yesterday ... so I just made me a sandwich with the provolone cheese . I haven't seen the link so I don't know what they slather on them in Philly , gold leaf I suppose . Mine was dang good .

No comment on the Meth-twinkie Slurp Ramp at the gay bath house I take it?

oh I missed that.

Let's go there when I visit, wont you be able to bring a guest for free with your VIP membership? I must find out what a Slurp Ramp is! Then we can trot up stairs and get tested for STD's and act surprised when they tell us we are poz.

But then laugh at them by saying we're walking ten blocks west to the Adonis Theater/Samson Bath House with a pit stop on the way for artisinal double-fried chicken with chili-garlic glaze and lavender strawberry donuts!
